Hello to all the Wannabees

Well, that seems to be the end of the formal summer training program. To end off, we had our family ride and prize giving

Glad so many could make it to the family ride on Saturday. I think that it went off well despite the bad weather.

Congratulations to all the white shirt winners. Wear it with pride. I think that it is a special achievement to be in the top 5% of your age group or your starting group.

We have so many riders who do well in other races, but do not get acknowledged in my weekly BUZZ. Some people feel uneasy to report that had excelled in a particular race, but that is OK, get the news to me, I like to brag about our club members.

Because the ARGUS is ridden by so many club members (104 out of a possible140 members) we feel that this race is the one to use for prizegiving. We know of others like Johannes Scribante who came second in his age group in the ARGUS mountain bike race, well done. We need info like that. Maybe once more club members participate in a particular race, we could also use that as a measure of achievement. We also know that Petie Viljoen finished the Epic with ex member Fred van Zyl. A great achievent just to finish that ride. I do not know of any other club member who completed this race.

Clayton Hindle will try to arrange mountain bike rides during the winter months on most Saturdays starting from W/S village. Watch for news on the BLOG.

Road bike rides will still start at 07h00 from W/S Village over weekends and on public holidays. So come and join and keep the legs going during the winter.

Thanks to all the members who helped during the past 4 months to make the club function as well as is does. We cannot only depend on the committee to make it work

Next on the agenda is the hillclimb. All the info is on the BLOG

A special thanks to MICHEL for all the work on the BLOG. It is really a special part of our club
The BLOG is full of news. My letter is a reminder to have a good look at the BLOG. Michel puts a lot of effort into this real show piece. Please add comments or send photos and articles. All the details are on the BLOG

I shall be away for 10 days, so no BUZZ next week.

PLEASE NOTE

Winter start time begins now. LSD rides on weekends will start at 07h00

AN URGENT APPEAL ONCE AGAIN TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR M/AID DETAILS AND ICE CONTACT DETAILS ARE IN YOUR SADDLE BAG AND ON YOUR CELL

At the club ride we noticed some members who have not renewed their membership for 2010. If you have not received your membership card, you might have paid but we have not picked it up on the bank statements. Please contact Charles to rectify charlesnesbitt@woolworths.co.za

CLUB REMINDERS

Please remember to order the long sleeve cycling tops from Pieter. Winter is on the doorstep, do not get caught ‘cold armed’

The club will also present a hill climb/king of the mountain handicap race on the 1st of May. We hope to make this an annual event. Please diarise.
